Teacher-Led - How It Works

If you want our expert staff to handle normal parent duties, then our teacher-led option is the perfect fit! In a teacher-led course, students will begin with the same online course material and self-study / self-paced model. But parents don't have to worry about teacher accounts, grading, or answering questions - our teachers will handle it all.

All CompuScholar courses require at least 6th grade level and some courses are only for students in 9th grade or higher. Please see the "Grades" marking in the top-right corner of each course description page.

When you select a teacher-led course, your student will receive the following benefits:
